Nickelodeon legends Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are teaming up once again for a horror comedy film that will pit the pair against an iconic monster.

Thompson and Mitchell will star in and produce the film Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein. The announcement was made during the Amazon sports talk show Good Sports, which Thompson typically co-hosts with Kevin Hart, though Mitchell was filling in as guest host. The full clip can be seen below.
The film will begin production this summer. Per the official logline, the story follows “two delivery drivers whose routine drop-off takes a terrifying turn when they arrive at a creepy, out-of-place castle and accidentally awaken Frankenstein’s monster — turning an ordinary night into a fight for survival.”
However, this will not be Thompson and Mitchell’s first horror comedy together. They also starred in the Nickelodeon made-for-TV movie “Two Heads Are Better Than None,” which aired as a finale movie for their beloved sitcom, Kenan & Kel.
“Kel and I have always loved finding new ways to work together, and this project felt like the perfect mix of nostalgia, comedy, and something completely unexpected,” said Thompson. “We’re excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it.”
“Coming back together always feels natural, and this lets us tap into everything people love about our dynamic while trying something totally new,” Mitchell added. “It’s funny, it’s scary, and it’s a great ride.”
This marks the comedy duo’s first announced joint project since they reunited for Good Burger 2 in 2023. At that time, they teased that they were planning to keep collaborating moving forward. Thompson and Mitchell first met when they were both cast members on the Nickelodeon sketch comedy series All That, from which Good Burger originated. Along with the success of the first film, the duo worked together for four seasons on Kenan & Kel. Thompson is currently the longest-serving cast member of Saturday Night Live, while Mitchell recently featured in the Nickelodeon reality series Play It Forward: Game On.
Jonah Feingold (At Midnight, 31 Candles) will write the screenplay for the new film. Thompson and John Ryan Jr.’s Artists for Artists will co-produce with Range Media Partners. Ryan Jr.,, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Carter Swan will produce alongside Thompson and Mitchell, with Will Hariton, Azim Spicer, and Monica Weber executive producing.
“First it was Abbott and Costello, then Pryor and Wilder. Kenan and Kel,” said Ryan Jr. “Think Shaun of the Dead meets Scooby-Doo.”
Range Media will handle sales, led by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Pete Micelli. Thompson and Ryan Jr. are represented by Range Media Partners; Mitchell by Innovative Artists, Untitled Entertainment, and Mark S. Temple; and Feingold by UTA, Untitled, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.
NICKELODEON UK TO PREMIERE SEASON TWO OF ORIGINAL ANIMATED SERIES ROCK PAPER SCISSORS ON FEBRUARY 2
Share it: #RockPaperScissors @Nickelodeon
Nickelodeon's hit animated series Rock Paper Scissors returns for a second season, launching with a week of all-new episodes, premiering weekdays starting Monday 2nd February 2026 on Nickelodeon UK & Ireland! Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, season two will continue to follow the wacky shenanigans and nonsensical adventures of the titular characters - Rock, Paper and Scissors.
The news follows Nickelodeon renewing the original animated series for a second (10 episodes) and third season (10 episodes) last year.
“Rock Paper Scissors embodies the creative and character-driven storytelling we champion at Nickelodeon and the show’s humor and heart has struck a chord with our audience,” said Ramsey Naito, who served as President, Paramount Animation and President of Nickelodeon Animation at the time the show's renewal announcement was made. “With an all-star cast that brings incredible energy, humor and depth to every character, we can’t wait to dive even deeper into the hilarious world these three best friends share.”

Fans can watch Rock Paper Scissors season one in full (20 episodes) exclusively on Paramount+. Inspired by the age-old tradition of settling things with your best friends, the game comes to life through the adventures of pals Rock, Paper and Scissors – a trio of best friends and roommates who lovingly compete over everything in sometimes laughable but mostly wildly absurd ways. Rock Paper Scissors was the number-one new animated series with K2-11 and K6-11 when it launched February 2024 and is an Annie Award, Children’s & Family Emmys and NAMIC Vision Award-nominated series.
The animated comedy stars Ron Funches (Trolls, Trolls Band Together) as Rock, an aspiring model and member of the trio with the biggest heart and moral compass; Thomas Lennon (Zoey 102, 17 Again, Reno 911!) as Paper, the wannabe intellectual who dreams of being a famous inventor; and Carlos Alazraqui (Rocko’s Modern Life, Reno 911!) as Scissors, who acts overly confident and always wants to be cool. The series also stars Melissa Villaseñor (Saturday Night Live) as Pencil, the trio’s incredibly smart neighbor with a silly sense of humor, and Eddie Pepitone (The Muppets, Old School) as Lou, the angry landlord, who is also a garbage can.
In addition to the linear series, Nickelodeon has greenlit 20 one-minute shorts to further dive into the character’s lives and adventures.
For more Rock Paper Scissors, follow the trio on the Nicktoons YouTube channel.
Originally launched in 2019 as a short, Rock Paper Scissors was greenlit for series from Nickelodeon’s Intergalactic Shorts Program. Created by Kyle Stegina (Robot Chicken) and Josh Lehrman (Robot Chicken), the series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation. Stegina and Lehrman serve as executive producers along with Conrad Vernon (Shrek 5) and Bob Boyle (The Fairly OddParents). Production is overseen by Daniel Wineman, Vice President of Original Animation Development. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
